Indeed, it's Halloween once more. Shibuya in Tokyo was once again filled with the milling crowds of cosplayers and curious onlookers. Here in Toronto, we may escape the rain so that the kids can go trick-or-treatin' once more. So, let's begin this Halloween special of KKP articles today.
The first time that I heard this Halloween-themed song was through a video featuring Japan's Weathernews former weathercaster Izumi Maie（眞家泉）dancing up a veritable storm in a number of settings (most likely in the Makuhari Messe area of Chiba where Weathernews headquarters is located). She's joined at the end by current weathercaster Sayane Egawa（江川 清音）.
And this song happens to be known simply as "Happy Halloween" (October 2014) by Vocaloid song producer Junky with Rin Kagamine（鏡音リン）providing the high-pitched vocals. It's a fun and child-like toy store march with the sensation of the comically spooky works of Danny Elfman, most notably for the Michael Keaton hit "Beetlejuice". In fact, I think that Elfman would be quite happy with this song of All Hallow's Eve with all of the excitement of going out and bewitching the neighbourhood. The English translation of the lyrics are available right here at Genius.com. Hopefully, tonight the kids and adults will have the same attitude going out.
